Project Summary
Founded in 2022, this volunteer-run social enterprise collects surplus bakery goods and cooked meals from restaurants in Scarborough and Toronto. They distribute these to vulnerable populations visiting food banks and/or living in shelters, aiming to combat hunger, support mental health, and lower greenhouse gas emissions by fighting food waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.
